Question
Let B = V₁, Vn be a maximal linearly independent list in a vector space V in the sense that adding another element of V to the list would
make it linearly dependent. Does it follow that B is a basis? Justify your answer.
Select one:
O No, since we did not specify that Vis finite-dimensional. It could be infinite-dimensional and hence not admit a basis of size n =
B for
any n
O No, since we did not specify the field. If n is a prime and we work over F, then we can get a counterexample
O
No, since the list is maximal, it must be that n = ∞ because for any finite n we could always add Un+1 chosen to be linearly independent
of the v₁, ...,Vn. But then if V was finite-dimensional we would have a contradiction. So its not always possible.
O Yes, for any v € V, the list v, v₁,..., Vn is l.d. so cv + C₁v₁ + ... + CnVn = 0 for some c, c, in the field not all zero. But c = 0 else the
V₁, ...,Vn would have a linear relation, hence we can divide by c and write v = Σ;(-)vi, so v₁, ···, vn also span, hence a basis.
O None of the others apply

Expert Solution
Step 1: Introduction of the given problem

B equals open curly brackets v subscript 1 comma v subscript 2 comma.. v subscript n space end subscript close curly brackets be maximal linearly independent list of vectors space V in the sense that adding another element of Vto the list would make it linearly dependent.

We have to justify whether B forms a basis or not.
